Received a letter this wee
from our old friend Mat Martin
—“Daddy Martin’' now. Mat
says he enjoys his work—thinks
a lopoj the Medics and all of
that, but, oh how he would like
io get the war over and come
home. Said he would even like
to sit under the “Oak“ for an
indefinite length of time.
Many automobile owners in the Houston OPA 40-county dis-
trict will find themselves without basic “A” gasoline rations
Sept. 22 if they do not make their renewal applications quick
ly Stephen J. Tully, Jr., Houston district director said today.
‘ Reports from War Price and Rationing Boards throughout
the district indicate that too many automobile owners are wait-
ing until the last minute to send in their applications for new
‘A’ books,” Mr. Tully said, ‘‘Thousands of applications already
received have been processed and drivers already have their
nefw books. However, the job is far from done, with only a
week to go. Everyone should realize that volunteer citizen
are giving their time to this work and they can do only so much.
If applications pile up at boards during the ensuing week, n
is certain many late arrivals will not be processed. Please do
your part to help out these patriotic citizens, and he board per
S9nne1-”

Speaking of the “Oak” re-
minds us that we spent a most
pleasant and profitable hour
there on Labor Day. Gathered
under shade of this famed tree
were such notables as: Judge
Wise, Dr. Bennett, Horace Boz-
arth, A. G. Harrison, pott mast-
er Billy Reeves and others. We
sa6 at the feet of these wise
ones and learned much: heard a
lot of kindly philosophy, a few
gentle jibes at the frailty of
mankind and ail of us indulged
in a little reminiscing. Such is
»ge.
' September 21 is the deadline ter filing of reports of nsed-
cer inventories, Stephen J. Tully Jr., Houston Dmtriet OPA d.^
rector declared today, urging every dealer and oth.r seller
generally engagd in the business of handling used ears to make
it his business to complete proper filmg m , n
The inventory is of used automobdes on hand September 11,
and is to be fiied with War Price and Rationing Boards. The

Saw a letter from another
soldier or rather sailor friend
the other day. Said his ship
had been out for 72 days—food
was running short and everyone
wa« getting a bit on edge. How-
ever, mail call cured all of their
troubles. It’s a funny thing
how wa talk so feelingly of “our
boys*’ in service and then go
serenely along our usual way
and never write to them. From
all we can learn they really ap-
preciate a newsy fetter from
any one at home.

_Rev. A. L. Lee, Pastor
Speaking of writing to the
men in service, Kate Smith «
slogan is “if you don’t write
you're wrong”. The good ladies
are swell about this little con-
tribution to the morale of the
civilian army, but I sadly fear
that too many of us he-males
arc either too selfish, too lazy or
too something to do much about
the problem.
Commissioner Parker has giv"
en his crew at Humble a well
earned vacation—nice thing for
him to do. Hope Charlie Hest-
and or Tom Clark bring us a
fish.
See a lot of activity around
the old Humble Grocery stand
—maybe we can get a real good
story from Ross Blair in explan-
ation.

City councilman Wise is back
from a well enjoyed vacation in
Ohio. Reports a good time as
a man of his age could have.
Really believe he was glad to
gee home, however.
Going to Houston in the early
morning we have buiit up quite
a game—bet with ourselves
whether Johnny Beard or Henry
Runnels will get to the filling
station first. Bout even, so far.
